We have recently reported that hydride (H) doped superatom (HPd@Au) protected by eight PPh ligands selectively grew into (HPd@Au) by the nucleophilic addition of two Au(I)Cl units. In the present study, (HPd@Au) was successfully converted to unprecedented trimetallic (HPd@MAu) superatoms (M = Ag, Cu) by controlled doping of two Ag(I)Cl or Cu(I)Cl units, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated that two Ag(I) or Cu(I) ions were regioselectively incorporated. Theoretical calculations suggested that hydrogens in (HPd@MAu) (M = Au, Ag, Cu) occupy the same bridging site between the central Pd atom and the surface Au atom. (HPd@AgAu) exhibited photoluminescence at 775 nm, with the enhanced quantum yield of 0.09%, although it is structurally and electronically equivalent with (HPd@Au). This study demonstrates that hydride-mediated growth process is a promising atomically-precise bottom-up synthetic method of new multimetallic superatoms.
我们最近报道,由八个三苯基膦(PPh)配体保护的氢化物(H)掺杂超原子(HPd@Au)通过两个Au(I)Cl单元的亲核加成选择性地生长为(HPd@Au)。在本研究中,通过分别控制掺杂两个Ag(I)Cl或Cu(I)Cl单元,(HPd@Au)成功转化为前所未有的三金属(HPd@MAu)超原子(M = Ag,Cu)。单晶X射线衍射分析表明,两个Ag(I)或Cu(I)离子被区域选择性地掺入。理论计算表明,(HPd@MAu)(M = Au,Ag,Cu)中的氢占据中心Pd原子和表面Au原子之间的相同桥连位点。(HPd@AgAu)在775 nm处表现出光致发光,量子产率提高了0.09%,尽管它在结构和电子性质上与(HPd@Au)相当。这项研究表明,氢化物介导的生长过程是一种有前途的、原子精确的自下而上合成新型多金属超原子的方法。
